topic of the Meditation Three discusses the concept of God and the proof of His existence. Descartes begins with the assertion that he is a ’thinking thing’ and therefore‚ he exists. Next‚ he further questions the source of his thoughts and certainty of anything else‚ because there are things that he previously admitted as certain and evident that later discovered to be doubtful (P.70). Therefore‚ Descartes concluded he has to find out whether there is God and that He is not a deceiver‚ to remove

To argue the existence
